[QUOTE="Guest, post: 62901"] your train of thougth isn't all that bad.. but look at bullets weights... the 270 bullets are relativly "light" you have a much better bullet selection in the 7mm ... my experiences.. limited as they are with the 7mm Rem Mag.. sometimes too much speed is a bad thing with partition bullets or similarly constructed bullets.... Yes the 7mm Rem Mag.. will kill Elk... but I prefer to see the 30 cal. or 338 cal. for the 800 lb. Elk... think of this... I realize youe experience is with the lighter recoiling 270... there is a 30 cal option here.... 300WSM ;-) load it light 150-165 gr for your whitetail and then you have the option of 180 gr or heavier for the Elk... recoil is very managable with the right rifle configuration... However, of the 2 rifles you have listed... the 7mmREm Mag would be a prefeable option given the Elk part of the equation... the 270 in my opinion is just a bit too marginal ..... [/QUOTE]
